@Eidolon1andOnly The fact that Dief the Thief simultaneously considered the Arrow to be rendered obsolete by ground-based missiles and yet also so advanced that the Soviets had to be stopped from copying it at all costs just shows how full of shit he was.

@criticalevent I was under the impression that Canada cancelled buying the F-35 and is more likely to go with either the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet or the Saab JAS 39E/F Gripen. Both of which are vastly more suited to Canada's needs. The Gripen for its lower operating costs and being optimized from day one for arctic conditions, and the Super Hornet for its ease of transition (literally the same cockpit as the CF-18) and the twin-engine reliability that the RCAF has always liked.

@vincentgoudreault9662 I would agree that the Super Hornet would be the best choice out of the 3 that Canada is choosing from. The F-15EX seems like an amazing fighter, but it might be more capability than Canada actually needs. Which in and of itself isn't a bad thing (certainly far better to have a plane that goes beyond what you need it to than one that's inferior to your needs), but I'm pretty sure it's also more expensive than the Super Hornet.
